This move marks a significant step forward for the club, which has been at the forefront of sustainability efforts in Italian football.
Udinese will become the first club to apply the UEFA and European Leagues' Football Event Sustainability Manual as the framework for a dedicated league fixture. The manual offers practical guidance on integrating environmental and social responsibility throughout the entire lifecycle of football events.
